PAPER MONEY A BARGAIN

  PAPER MONEY, the official journal of the Society of
  Paper Money Collectors (SPMC) is edited by E-Sylum
  subscriber Fred L. Reed III.   Under his tenure the
  publication has greatly expanded.   For only $30 a year
  SPMC members receive 500 pages of information and
  entertainment per year.   I've been a member for about
  twenty years, and the quality of the publication has
  always been high.  For more information about the
  society, see their web site at spmc.org

  The current issue (July/August 2004) has a number of
  items of interest to bibliophiles, three of which are
  reprinted with permission below.

  For example, the issue includes a 10-page article by
  Q. David Bowers titled "W. L. Ormsby, Idealist".
  The 1852 Ormsby book is a classic of American
  numismatic literature and original copies are a
  cornerstone of better numismatic libraries.  I know
  Armand Champa was particularly proud of his copy.
  Dave's article is the first extensive work in the
  numismatic press (or anywhere, no doubt) about the
  life and work of Ormsby.

  As a bibliophile I scour all the specialty club journals
  for word of new publications.  In another valuable
  work for researchers, the issue announces an indexed
  and searchable CD produced by George B. Tremmel
  and Tom Carson titled "Correspondence of the Treasury
  Department of the Confederate States of America,
  1861-65, by Raphael P. Thian.  Thian's rare works
  are also key components of a U.S. numismatic library,
  and this disc brings a wealth of original historical source
  material to the fingertips of readers (see below for
  details).
